Commercial Liability Insurance

Commercial Liability Insurance is a class of Insurance designed to cover a commercial enterprise against all claims that may be made against the business as it carries out it daily commercial activities. Without Commercial Liability covers in force a business would have to manage, defend and pay for all costs and damages awarded against it for the damages, loss and injury to a claimant.

Commercial Liability Insurance provides protection that can cover all risks of claims from the public, employees, clients, customers or the State. Liabilities are events for which the trader, business, partnership, company or commercial enterprise can be held liable and damages and costs awarded against them.

Commercial Liability Insurance consists of a range of optional covers designed for all risks and eventualities, however a policy will always have as its most basic cover Public Liability Insurance.
Additonally Employers Liability Insurance, Product Liability Insurance, Directors & Officers Liability Insurance and Professional Indemnity Liability Insurance can be added to UK Commercial Insurance policies, where required.
